The shortage of teachers allows the Ministry of Education to get creative, career changers are in high demand: 1342 applicants have achieved certification so far this year. What subjects these neo-educators would teach and other new figures about the current state of affairs.
The school children in Austria will soon go back to their lessons. Little time for education minister Martin Polaschek (ÖVP) to counter the blatant lack of teachers. More than in previous years, the focus is on lateral entrants. Initiatives such as “Class Job” – in the context of which military personnel should also combat the teacher shortage – or “Teach for Austria” should boost the teacher offensive. The figures show that the offer has been well received.
